The performance of the system depends on the characteristics of the RAM: the speed of operations, the ability to run a large number of applications at the same time, and so on. You can find RAM in your computer in different ways.
Instructions
Step 1
If possible, look at the markings applied directly to the module, or read the documentation supplied with the RAM. In the event that you do not want to open the system unit, and the documents are lost, use the capabilities of your system.
Step 2
On the desktop or in the "Start" menu, right-click on the "My Computer" icon. Select Properties from the context menu. A new System Properties dialog box will open. Go to the "General" tab and find the "System" group. The amount of RAM is designated as RAM (Random Access Memory).
Step 3
Also, the "System" component can be called in another way: click the "Start" button or the Windows key, open the "Control Panel" and select the "System" icon in the "Performance and Maintenance" category by clicking on it with the left mouse button.
Step 4
The amount of memory can also be viewed through the task manager. Click on the taskbar with the right mouse button and select the "Task Manager" item in the drop-down menu, or press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl, alt="Image" and Del. In the window that opens, go to the "Performance" tab and read the information.
Step 5
Another option: call the "Run" command through the "Start" menu or open the command line ("All programs" - "Standard" - "Command line") and enter systeminfo without unnecessary printing characters. Press the Enter key and wait until the collection of information is complete. Read the information you need in the appropriate line.
Step 6
In the "Start" menu, expand all programs, in the "Standard" folder, select the "System" subfolder and click on the "System Information" icon. A new window will open, select the first item in it with the left mouse button. Memory information is near the end of the data list.
Step 7
From the desktop, press the function key F1. The Help and Support Center window opens. In the search box, enter "RAM" without quotation marks. In the list generated by request, select the section "Getting information about the computer" and the task "Show general information about the system". After collecting the information, look for the information you need in the "Memory (RAM)" section.
